Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)

  • 1/2 cup chopped onion

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) Mexican diced tomatoes, drained

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
     

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°. In a large skillet, cook and crumble beef with onion and garlic over medium heat until no longer pink, 4-6 minutes. Stir in spices and tomatoes. Bring to a boil; remove from heat. In a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons cilantro.

  2. Place 1 tortilla in a 9-in. round baking pan coated with cooking spray. Layer with half the meat sauce, 1 tortilla, ricotta mixture, another tortilla and remaining meat sauce. Top with remaining tortilla; sprinkle with cheddar cheese and remaining cilantro.
